Martin told the paper that this did not mean the party was preparing to be the junior coalition partner in any government.
He said: “Not necessarily - sure we don’t know. There’s a lot of volatility out there. The volatility isn’t over. Politics is at a very low ebb now in terms of public perception.
“People are angry with the political system. They’re very annoyed that no change has happened to the political system. They actually believed all parties had signed on for radical change.”

Here's an idea for Mr. Martin.
Evaluate the people in all the
parties based on their votes
cast that help the most people in Ireland. Then talk to those people about forming a new party.

Michael deserves credit for not deserting the party like the other Party rats did,rather than face the electorate. His best hope is to Found a new party,drawing honestly on the lessons of the past disasterous policies. ~~~ The right wing and agricultural voters are just waiting for a respectable choice!

Not a chance Meehaul. Fianna Fail will never be allowed to hold power in Ireland ever again. Any party that aligns itself with your toxic brand will also be infected.
Face facts, Meehaul, Fianna Fail betrayed Ireland and can never be forgiven.
